Equus Energy has completed the Pre-Front End Engineering Design (Pre-FEED) for its Equus Gas Project, confirming a technically robust development pathway. The Development Plan targets production of 2 million tonnes per annum of liquefied natural gas (LNG), 50 terajoules per day of Western Australian domestic gas, and a peak condensate rate of approximately 12,000 barrels per day. The project is estimated to generate approximately US$22.3 billion of nominal revenue and US$11.6 billion of nominal EBITDA, representing an EBITDA margin of approximately 52%. The Development Plan delivers a Project NPV10 of US$867 million and nominal IRR of 31% with capital payback approximately two years after first production. The initial capital outlay is estimated at approximately US$1.25 billion (real terms, including 20% contingency) and excludes the leased FPSO and export pipeline.
